Lufthansa Cargo milestone: fuel efficiency info in the pilot briefing system

April 28, 2016 – Lufthansa Cargo fuel efficiency team met with its Honeywell Aviaso customer care and support teams to discuss the successful completion and next steps for an important milestone in the airline’s fuel efficiency program: the introduction of fuel efficiency info in the pilot briefing system.

All Lufthansa Cargo pilots will benefit from actionable fuel efficiency recommendations that are customized and specific to the aircraft type and the route being flown. The breakdown by flight phase: climb, cruise, and descent data provides guidance for fuel, time, and distance.

In addition to the pilot briefing, Lufthansa Cargo also had a hands-on workshop with the latest version of the application which now includes full navigational information: airports, waypoints, nav aids, airspaces, etc. The detailed navigational data allows airlines to setup detailed reporting and even alerts for events like waypoint crossing or time spent in airspace.
